"It seems that the person buried under this withered grave is likely its former owner..."
Lu Lan was unable to determine the identity of the black bone beast for a moment, nor could he determine when it died.
If the black bone beast was not covered with bones like it is now, but retained some characteristics, Lu Lan would be able to infer who was buried under the dry tomb based on its identity.
"Anyway, while he hasn't attacked me yet, I need to quickly find those three Xuanyuan purple crystals that match the shape."
Lu Lan made a decision quickly.
To find three Xuanyuan purple crystals that match the shape of the stone tablet among the surrounding Xuanyuan purple crystals that are as numerous as small hills is like "looking for a needle in a haystack".
And in the current situation, the only means available is to use soul power to take action.
This was similar to how he had used his soul power to explore and snatch the herbs in the ring before.
But the current situation is much more difficult and dangerous than the Medicine God Conference.
Lu Lan needed to allocate a portion of his soul power to conduct an investigation, while at the same time retaining a portion of his soul power to keep a close eye on the black bone beast at all times, in case it suddenly attacked him without any regard.
Fortunately, this black bone beast seemed to attach great importance to this dead tomb. Even though Lu Lan sat beside the dead tomb motionless for nearly a quarter of an hour, it never attacked Lu Lan.
Lu Lan's soul power is already quite strong, and winning at the Medicine God Conference is enough to prove it.
However, even so, it took nearly half an incense stick of time to find the first Xuanyuan purple crystal that matched the shape of the stone tablet.
This also consumes a considerable amount of soul power.
"No wonder only alchemists are allowed in... Only alchemists can possess such powerful soul power. Also, those with excessively high cultivation levels are not allowed in... Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be able to protect this place."
As Lu Lan continued to search with his soul power, he finally figured out why there were such strict restrictions on entering the Ancient Medicine Wonderland.
Nearly half an hour later.
Lu Lan finally found the remaining two Xuanyuan purple crystals that matched the shape.
What was outrageous was that the black bone beast was still circling and staring at him... It seemed that even though it could still move after death, it had lost its ability to think.
Otherwise, there should be some other actions by now.
In short, Lu Lan was no longer worried that this black bone beast would suddenly attack him.
He placed the remaining two pieces of Xuanyuan purple crystal into the hole of the stone tablet one by one.
Suddenly, the stone tablet began to vibrate at a high frequency, shattering the dust and stones on the surface.
Lu Lan immediately stood up, watching for the changes in the stone tablet while being on guard against the black bone beast.
When the shaking subsided, Lu Lan realized that this was not an ordinary stone tablet... it was clearly a "Xuanying Tablet"!
Moreover, it is a Xuanying Monument that is very old.
Lu Lan sensed that there was a very special mysterious formation inside, which could not be triggered without finding three pieces of Xuanyuan purple crystals of the same shape.
Soon, the Xuanying Monument projected a slightly illusory human figure.
As soon as the "human figure" appeared, the black bone beast stopped suddenly as if it had seen its master, and its gaze shifted from Lu Lan to the "human figure".
"Hmm? Who activated this Xuanying Monument?"
The "figure" turned around and saw Lu Lan standing beside him.
"Junior Lu Lan...may I know your name, senior?"
Lu Lan first bowed, and then quietly observed the other party's reaction.
"Lu Lan... Ten thousand years have passed. How could such an outstanding alchemist still appear in the Cangyuan Continent today?"
The "figure" first sighed in admiration, then said:
"As for me, I've long forgotten my own name... But ten thousand years ago, those bastards called me 'Ancient Medicine Venerable' and tried to kill me countless times, but they never succeeded..."
"You can just call me 'Ancient Medicine'."
Ten thousand years ago!
Venerable Ancient Medicine Master!
Only then did Lu Lan remember where that inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.
It turns out that within this ancient medicine wonderland... there is actually buried the remains of a powerful man from the continent who lived ten thousand years ago!
Wait, does this mean... that this secret realm was actually created by this "Ancient Medicine Master"?
"Hmm? The aura you carry... is quite mixed."
Venerable Ancient Medicine glanced at him with a look that seemed to carry some meaning.
Lu Lan was a little confused by this look. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he heard the Ancient Medicine Master change the subject:
"Little guy, what are you doing here?"
Lu Lan had no choice but to repeat Yan Xuzhi's words.
When Ancient Medicine Venerable heard that this secret realm seemed to have undergone a strange change, his eyes suddenly changed, and he subconsciously blurted out:
"Could it be that the guy I sealed away has awakened?!"
